FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

40e Grooming cricket with an endless song
BY the elow creeping lichen, held and stayed
BY arms Of wandering rose, that tough and
strong, H. .'~r
Bind firm its slipping stones. The rusty bEier
And scarlet fingers of the bitter-sweet
Cast light shade that shelters from the heat
A Thousand voiceless little lives. Higher
Than maiden birch or solitary pine,
Poised in the brooding blue, ON speckled wings,
A hawk hangs motionless: so straight he filings
Hie shadow to the earth, like plummet-line
1tdrops through seas Of air. As In . swoon
Oflight the great world lies, and life stands
still,
Wrapped in breathless hush: till up the hill
Drift dappled shadows of the afternoon.

RAISING LAMBS.
With the neglect that has been
given to sheep husbandry in some
sections of the country, it has come to
be about as profitable as any branch
of farm industry that can be engaged
in. A greater part of the profit comes
from the raising of lambs for the butch
er. Keeping sheep is profitable to
the farmer in more ways than one.
They perform an important service as
scavengers, devouring weeds, briers
and bushes that would grow in pasture
undisturbed by cattle. This fact is
very forcibly illustrated upon New
England farms where sheep raising
has been abandoned. We have marked
the effect upon adjacent farms, one Of
which carried sheep with clean smooth
pasturage, the other rendered unsightly
by the vigorous growth of weeds, bushes
and briers that cattle would not touch.
Then again, sheep by being fed a small
quantity of grain, will live and do well
upon the poorer quality of feed that
the hay-felds afford. But regarding
the lambs, it is desirable to have them
come in the early Spring, and there
fore the coupling of the ram and ewes
should be regulated with that end in
view. If the sheep are young and
vigorous, Gas they always should be,
there being no profit in undertaking
to keep poor, unhealthy sleepy and
the quarters for them in Winter warm,
the lambing season may be made
earlier. Sheep require warm stabling
and at the same time no farm animal
requires purer air than they, and for
that reason there should be the most
perfect ventilation. Pure air is one of
the essentials to their health, which is
necessary to insure vigor. Such sheep
will give birth to strong active lambs.
If the sheep are properly kept, and the
young lambs continue to grow, if they
can be developed so as to be ready
for market by May or June they will
generally bring gilt-edged prices; but
in order to produce Fall lambs in Win
ter requires extra and special feeding.
The feeding must be with view to the
production of rich and abundant milk
by the mother. Rowen hay is also ex-
cellent, and will be eaten by the lambs
themselves as they get a little age.
There is no mode of growing lambs
more easy than that of having them
come along about the time the flock is
turned to grass. The young grass is
productive of milk just suited TO the
growth of the lambs and they will de-
velope with great rapidity.

POINTS OF A GOOD MIXER.

POINTS OF A GOOD MIXER.
A good mixer must be able to eat a
great deal of food. Milk cannot be made
without something to make it from. The
COW does not secrete milk from air, but
from her blood, and her blood is sup
piled from the food she eats. 10 eat a
great deal cow must have strong jaw,
and we may put this down as one of the
marks of good mixers. A strong jaw
docs not necessarily require big head,
1T least what is called bulls head,
large in the upper part, but a strong
lower jaw, with strong muscles to oper-
ate 1t. Any expansive of the head in
other directions may be detriment as
drawing from her food to support it.
A good mixer must digest a great
deal of food. This requires an ample
stomach or stomachs, for COW has
four. A large stomach is indicated by
a large abdomen and a great breath be-
tween the hips, or great breath of
loins. A Judge of COWS will tell you that
q COW should be wedge-shape, tapering
from abdomen to nose.
A good mixer will have large milk
veins, that is, large veins leading to the
udder, under the belly. The large veins
indicate large mixer,
Whether what is called the escutcheon,
the portion of the hind part of the udder
and adjacent parts on which the hair
turns back in opposition to the general
direction of the hair, is any indication
to the milking qualities of the COW, is a
disputed question. j. Many believe that
wkere it is large it indicates good milk
or; where small, poor one. Others put
NO faith in it, ..s :
a soft velvety feeling of the skin, and
rich, yellow color, especially In the in
side Of the ears, is believed to indicate a
rich mixer, at least, If not large one.
It is believed to shew tendency to fat,
and consequently butter.

HOW THEY DO 1T IN LOGAN.
A Pretty Story of an Old Man and
Thrifty Deputies.

They tell a pretty good story of the
way things are run by United States
judicial representatives in Logan. A
week ago last Sunday las the story
runs). an old man aged 60 or 70, coming
out of meeting, was accosted by the
deputy marshals there, and asked II
Hon Moses Thatcher was in the Taber-
nacle. The old gent said he was not.
They insisted that he was, and in the
course of the iteration by the deputies
and the denials by the old gent, the
wordy battle grew pretty strong. After
standing the badgering as long as ne
could, the old man said the deputies
were liars-reiterating a remark by
David, of sacred history-and certain
other unsavory epithets were applied to
these representatives of the majesty OF
this great government. Thereupon
they arrested the venerable gent for in
sulting them. He was taken before
Commissioner Goodwin. A jury trial
WAS had, the veteran found guilty, and
recommended to the mercy of the
court The costs were fixed against
the aged defendant.
The humor of this event is in the
allegation that the deputies. who
were the plaintiffs in the case. sum-
moned the jurors in open venire in
their own case, and, of course, the costs
were such as they imposed because of
the service done by them. This is a
pretty slick arrangement, if the story
be true. Get a man into a row, then
arrest him, summon the jury that Is to
convict him, and get verdict giving
them. costs.
If this is true, it comes as near being
high-handed and pecuniary tyranny as
one can well imagine IL would be a
good case for investigation by officials
in higher quarters-and either demands
vindication or set. down for the pals
ties interested.

TELEGRAPHIC TARIFF.
The Western Union to Materially
Reduce Rates.

On and after December list, 1887, the
Western Union Telegraph Company
will modify its square and State rates
by reductions. To most of the States
the reelection will be fully 25 per cent.
The effect of this order will oe to re-
duce the rate from Utah and surround
ing Territories to all points in the Union
where this mpany has offices, to IS
Francisco, Omaha and Kansas City a
special rate of 90 cents is made. By
these reductions the cost OF transfer
ring money through the Western Union
money order system will be lessened
materially. The newspapers Will also
share in the benefi IS of the lower tariffs,
as the rates charged them on special
dispatch is gagged by the tariff on
commercial messages.
